The Fossil Chronicles: How Two Controversial Discoveries Changed Our View of Human Evolution
ISBN: 9780520274464 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Two discoveries of early human relatives, one in 1924 and one in 2003, radically changed scientific thinking about our origins. Dean Falk, a pioneer in the field of human brain evolution, offers this fast-paced insider's account of these discoveries, the behind-the-scenes politics embroiling the scientists who found and analyzed them, and the academic and religious controversies they generated. The first is the Taung child, a two-million-year-old skull from South Africa that led anatomist Raymond Dart to argue that this creature had walked upright and that Africa held the key to the fossil...

Finding Our Tongues: Mothers, Infants, and the Origins of Language
ISBN: 9780465002191 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Scientists have long theorized that abstract, symbolic thinking evolved to help humans negotiate such classically male activities as hunting, tool making, and warfare, and eventually developed into spoken language. In Finding Our Tongues, Dean Falk overturns this established idea, offering a daring new theory that springs from a simple observation: parents all over the world, in all cultures, talk to infants by using baby talk or "Motherese." Falk shows how Motherese developed as a way of reassuring babies when mothers had to put them down in order to do work. The melodic vocalizations...

Evolutionary Anatomy of the Primate Cerebral Cortex
ISBN: 9780521089951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Studies of brain evolution have moved rapidly in recent years, building on the pioneering research of Harry J. Jerison. This book provides state-of-the-art reviews of primate (including human) brain evolution. The volume is divided into two sections, the first offers new perspectives on the developmental, physiological, dietary, and behavioral correlates of brain enlargement. However, it has long been recognized that brains do not merely enlarge globally as they evolve, but that their cortical and internal organization also changes in a process known as reorganization. Species-specific...
